Perhaps best known internationally for his part in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds, the German writer-director-actor Til Schweiger returns behind the camera next month with Schutzengel (roughly translated: Guardian Angel).
The first poster and a handful of new images, along with hi-res versions of a few that have already surfaced, have now made their way online.
“A troubled former soldier works to protect an orphan who witnessed a murder from the assassins out to get her.”
Schweiger stars in the lead as the troubled former soldier, once more alongside his daughter Luna Schweiger (Keinohrhasen, or Rabbit Without Ears), and Moritz Bleibtreu (Run Lola Run).
Schweiger is directing from a script he co-wrote with newcomer Paul Maurice and Stephen Butchard (Vincent).
Schutzengel will be released by the German arm of Warner Bros. on 27th September, and as yet, there’s no word on if/when it will arrive in the UK or Us.

Having skipped This Means War like someone was waiting to physically attack me in the theater, I know Til Schweiger from one place and one place only: Inglourious Basterds. Now, Hugo Stiglitz is a perfectly fine (and by “perfectly fine” I mean “the best possible”) memory marker for yours truly, but I was fond enough of what he did there to want some more. Being a close-minded American, little did I know that the guy does a lot more — writing, directing, and producing, namely.
Variety reports that Schweiger will be coming back to America with those credits in tow — probably in better form than War and New Year’s Eve, too — tackling a remake of his own German production, Schutzengel. The actor, Paul Maurice, and Stephen Butchard wrote the original script (that goes by the title of The Guardians in English), which follows “a psychologically troubled former elite soldier who rescues a teenage orphan,...
